Mike & Sara Dedoes
"Dos Dedoes" — a personal trainer and a middle school teacher, building a life around fitness, growth, and helping people become who they're capable of being.
Our story
We started building our life together in 2020, when we met at a fitness conference just before the world shut down for the pandemic. During that season, hiking became our favorite way to spend time together and connect.
In June 2022, we were married in the Great Smoky Mountains. We call Knoxville home with our two fur babies.
Fitness and helping others are a big part of our lives. Mike works as a personal trainer, offering both in-person and virtual coaching. Sara is a middle school teacher, making an impact in the lives of her students and athletes every day. Together, we're passionate about growth, health, and building a life centered around purpose and connection.
Training expertise
Mike has been passionate about health and fitness since 2010. He's an A.C.E.-certified personal trainer, as well as a certified Spartan Race and DEKA coach, with over 8 years of experience helping people build strength, improve confidence, and reach their goals.
His own fitness journey has included completing 3 Spartan Ultras, multiple Spartan races, earning 3rd place at the DEKA World Championships, and competing in HYROX competitions — experiences that shaped his approach to discipline, resilience, and performance.
He currently trains clients in person in Knoxville and virtually across the country, via Zoom or the TrainHeroic app.
Your success is our goal
Everyone has unique goals and challenges, so training isn't one-size-fits-all. Some people need a trainer to help them believe in themselves. Others need guidance on nutrition, direction on where to start, or accountability to reach the next level.
The goal is simple: make fitness less overwhelming, more fun, and more fulfilling — and help you become stronger, healthier, and more confident in every area of life.
